[00:05:04] <chromas> I probably should've split the 4/20 one into Extended
[00:05:09] * chromas shurgs; doesn't do it
[00:08:26] <takyon> yeah they can handle it
[00:08:32] <takyon> it's content!
[00:31:41] <mrpg> alexa amazon - ready
[00:32:31] * chromas #s2
[00:32:34] * chromas #2s
[00:34:04] <mrpg> Enough for today. Bye good night.
[00:34:10] <fyngyrz> I'd second it, but I submitted it :)
[00:34:24] <mrpg> #weather pyonyang
[00:34:24] <MrPlow> Unable to find weather for that location
[00:34:32] <mrpg> #g capital of north korea
[00:34:33] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "Pyongyang or P'yŏngyang is the capital and largest city of North Korea.

[00:35:48] <chromas> While they prefer editors to not accept their own subs, 2nding your own seems to be more tolerabler
[00:35:52] * chromas shurgs
[00:36:00] <fyngyrz> well, I'm new here
[00:36:17] <fyngyrz> and some of this isn't at all obvious, y'know?
[00:36:27] <fyngyrz> anwyay, did the others
[00:36:39] <fyngyrz> and I see that the amazon story is done too, so there we go
[00:37:04] <chromas> Seems like it should be okay to do your own since it's mostly just blockquoting other articles
[00:37:36] <chromas> In fact, we should get rid of editing and just have people upvote subs they like :D
[00:37:56] <fyngyrz> me, I tend to think that if they trust you to edit and pick other people's stories,. they probably should trust you to edit and pick your own, but I am only an egg.
[00:39:57] <chromas> Mmm, eggs
[00:41:01] <chromas> I guess it's supposed to be a conflict of interest thing.
[00:41:16] <chromas> They've relaxed the shitposting rules in #soylent; maybe they'll relax editing rules eventually
[00:53:47] <Bytram> chromas: I split the 4/20 story onto extended copy... nearly 800 words is more than even an NCommander novella got on the main page. =)
[00:56:59] <NCommander> >.>;
[00:57:30] <chromas> You've got a severed colon on your eyeball
[00:58:33] <Bytram> NCommander: naw... I think it is a cat that has one earring
[00:58:50] <Bytram> but seriously... hope you are holding up okay.
[01:21:44] <takyon> Ncommander go post on my story
[01:26:20] * Bytram pushed out 1 story, but too tired to concentrate enough to push out any more. :(
[01:26:56] * Bytram apparently, needs more than 4.5 hours' sleep in a night.

[16:53:20] <chromas> takyon: just did that one :)
[16:54:04] <takyon> wot
[16:54:34] <chromas> the wifi backscatter
[16:54:41] <chromas> Feel free to work on it though
[16:54:51] <takyon> i was just looking
[16:54:56] <chromas> ah
[16:55:11] <takyon> the 1/10,000 power for video streaming seemed like BS especially after I read 1 kbps in there
[16:55:13] <chromas> I mentioned it because I changed the title, so it might seem to be different
[16:55:31] * chromas didn't look at that part
[16:55:48] <chromas> accuracy--
[16:55:48] <Bender> karma - accuracy: -1
[16:56:59] <takyon> origginal submission says: " and achieve communication rates of up to 1 kbps and ranges of up to 2.1 meters"
[16:58:34] <chromas> That's not gonna bring in the clicks
[16:58:44] * chromas adjusts
[16:59:47] <chromas> I just modified the headline from the uow headline to not have the impossible "10,000 times lower"
[17:29:44] <chromas> mebbe that's better
[17:30:28] <fyngyrz> They just didn't mention the video was 1 pixel.
[17:30:42] <fyngyrz> "slightly reduced resolution"
[17:33:05] <chromas> The article I'd changed it to points at a different pdf by different people (but that shares one faculty)
[17:33:15] <chromas> I put it back and pasted in some content from their own pdf
[17:36:32] <takyon> I added a line to the death penalty story

[19:16:53] <mrpg> Who decides what is best?
[19:17:08] <mrpg> Till now I like pidgin, I'll keep looking.

[19:20:49] * mrpg to /me
[19:20:53] <mrpg> :(

[21:15:29] <takyon> what is ugly about hexchat?
[21:16:26] <takyon> I thought it had themes but it looks like I set the colors manually
[21:42:31] <chromas> Kvirc. I missed my period up there
